A town centre road in Burton is set to be closed for three days while engineers work to fix a gas leak.

Part of Station Street between Guild Street and Worthington Way will close on Sunday morning and is expected to remain closed for three days, re-opening on Wednesday if the repairs go to plan. Diversions will be in place.

The work is being carried out by gas distribution company Cadent, and engineers are working to find the leaking pipe and repair it.

Temporary traffic lights were put up at the junction of Worthington Way and Station Street earlier this week.

A diversion has been set up to avoid the area

The leak is believed to have been caused by wear and tear on the gas pipe over the years.

Businesses including The Dial restaurant, Argos and The Locomotive bar will still have access, as will residents.

A spokesman for Cadent said: "We are advising motorists of a road closure in Station Street, Burton, for approximately three days.

"Station Street will be closed between Guild Street and Worthington Way, while engineers repair a gas leak.

"A diversion route will be in place but access will be maintained for residents and businesses.

"We are sorry for any inconvenience but it is very important for safety reasons that we fix this leak. We'll be working to complete the repair as soon as possible. We'll keep people updated."
